It's easy to share content between devices with Nearby Share, one of the best features in recent years. There is always room for improvement, and it looks like a small but helpful feature that will make sharing between your own devices a bit quicker is on the way.
When selecting your device visibility, this will limit sharing between devices signed in to the same Google Account as your phone. The setting no longer requires receiving devices to approve the request.
Nearby Share's "self-share" mode will let you quickly share files to other devices signed into the same Google account without needing to approve the share. This hasn't rolled out yet from what I can see, but it's present in the latest version of Google Play Services. pic.twitter.com/wdtxoiE2ozApril 19, 2022

It makes sense for security reasons to approve items sent from someone else's device, but having to approve items sent between your own devices seems redundant. This feature would eliminate one step in the equation and streamline the process for those who rely on this feature. AirDrop works when sending items between devices with the same Apple ID.
Rahman says that the feature isn't live just yet, but it appears to already be available in the Play Services, meaning it's likely just a matter of time before the option rolls out on the best phones. Since this feature would essentially take over the option in visibility settings, it appears that a separate option is being added.
